NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7003 12 10 (tinted cast and rolled glass in sheets or profiles — body-tinted, opacified, flashed, or having an absorbent, reflecting, or non-reflecting layer) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other glass products within Chapter 70 — including float glass and surface-ground or polished glass — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance obligations, making classification accuracy the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all glass products in Chapter 70: float glass, toughened safety glass, and laminated glass each occupy distinct tariff lines that may attract BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where an imported sheet is determined to qualify as float glass — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certification. Verify product specification, manufacturing process, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
